3. Find the remainder (without division) when

(a) x\(^{2}\) - 2x + 4 is divided by x - 1

(b) 2x\(^{3}\) - 3x\(^{2}\) + 7x - 8 is divided by x - 1


4. Use the Remainder Theorem, find the remainder when x\(^{4}\) - 3x\(^{2}\) + 4x - 12 is divided by x - 3.


5. Find the remainder (without division) when

(a) x\(^{3}\) + 4x + 2 is divisible by x + 2

(b) 4x\(^{3}\) - 3x\(^{2}\) + 5x + 4 is divided by 2x + 1
